Bar Broadcast

When I'm in a bar and the DJ plays new music I hear for the first time it be nice to somehow know what song it is so I can look it up later. Since most DJs use laptops these days, they could be broadcasting song info using bluetooth and the people in the bar can instantly receive and save the information in their mobile phones.

post your blood group info on your profile

it be a good idea to have blood group information on social networking sites, people post all sorts of personal/career info, friends of friends can contact you and ask you if you would be willing to donate blood for a friend, you never know when you will be in an emergency. searching via friend networks across many different social networking sites can help find people with the right blood type you need.

Special glasses for laptop use in plane

Some airlines (Delta, United, Virgin etc) are rushing to offer Wi-Fi internet connections in economy. Most people cite cramped space on the tray table as the major problem for laptop use in a flight but I think privacy is a more serious problem. Text chatting with my girlfriend or friends, I wouldn't want the guys sitting next to me reading what I write. We are all curious creatures by nature and easily tempted to read into everything that gets displayed on someone else's computer screen.

One way to solve the privacy issue is with special use glasses that the passenger puts on to watch what is displayed on the computer screen which stays turned off. I looked up online and found out that head mounted display glasses already exist. They connect to common video sources and are ideal for mobile entertainment and information applications.

I expect that as in-flight Wi-Fi becomes available and people take their laptops with them, there will be a big demand for use of such glasses to protect privacy. I think it's a smart investment to buy stocks of companies that make them.
